Join us again this Memorial Day for an exciting weekend full of DeMolay knowledge, training, brotherhood, and fun.
You'll learn how to set goals for yourself and for your Chapter, how to share the fun of DeMolay with your friends, and how to make your Chapter events run smoothly. You'll leave camp rejuvenated and rededicated to the ideals of DeMolay, ready to go home and make a real difference in your Chapter and in your community.
The Member's Track will teach basic DeMolay knowledge, including membership, making your voice heard in the Chapter, and how to help make events successful.
The Councilor's Track will help you as you advance up the chairs, by focusing on term planning, organizing events, and leading your DeMolay Chapter to succeed.
The Veteran's Seminar is for Active DeMolays who ave previously attended ODLE. This seminar is especially designed for experienced DeMolays and includes elements of business and life skills training.
The Advisor's Track includes first time participants in the basic curriculum and returning participants in the advanced curriculum. Additional enrichment elements are included for Advisors.
